All sounds good and suitable for that site.

Very interesting to see that the developer wants to increase the number of residential units. Potentially positive indication about viability of residential accommodation in the Docklands. My only concern is that this is now being described as a single conventional apartment building. Replacing four blocks. I'm worried that this will just be one big lump rather than something interesting in urban design terms.

The first reply under that tweet is just awful. People like that are the reason nothing gets built. Thankfully that's changing finally.
